Lord, perfect us, Thy believers

Lord

perfect us

Thy believers

As the New Jerusalem;

God as newness wrought within us

New creation we’ll become.

As we’re opened fully to Thee

Lord

renew our every part.

Gain Thy corporate

image-bearing

One new man

Thy counterpart.

Holy city

all God’s people

Sanctified in nature true

Saturated with Thine essence

Is Thy one eternal view.

Yield us weighty

constituted

Fully mingled

Lord

with Thee

That Thou gain Thy full expression

And Thy glory fully see.

We’re God’s tabernacle

dwelling;

Here is Thine eternal rest.

We’re Thy house

Thy splendid temple

Joined in spirit

fully blessed.

Lord

our bodies we present now

With all saints together grow;

Blended

built

coordinated

We’d Thy building truly know.

Now betrothed to Thee

dear Bridegroom

Bring us to maturity.

Beautify

reconstitute us

Till we match Thee perfectly.

May our love grow deeper

fuller;

Foretaste of our married life.

How we long to finally meet Thee!

Thou

the Lamb

and we

the wife!

With that City as our mother

We’ve been born of God by grace.

In this grace we stand

receiving

And Thy purpose we embrace:

Many more sons God desires;

We too bring them forth in love.

One with God

we’re now components

Of Jerusalem above.

Consummated Triune God with

Redeemed man is joined as one;

Marvelous eternal couple

To declare all Thou hast done.

Lord

obtain Thy deepest longing—

Corporate man build up in Thee;

Thine economy accomplish;

New Jerusalem complete.
